[Complementary tests in the evaluation of velar insufficiency].
In order to assess the degree of velar deficiency as accurately as possible, three tests can be made: a nasofibroscopy, X-rays, and notably xeroradiography, a radiography made under brightness amplification. This check-up indicates the course of action to be undertaken: orthophonic rehabilitation followed, depending on the results, by a surgical operation. These tests are incorporated into a pluridisciplinary treatment.
